     Moon in Glass , a new series of works by artist Ling Jian, employs portraiture, mirrors, installation and spatial design to create a seamless visual experience and an atmosphere that invites contemplation. Moon in Glass is actually two exhibitions being held consecutively at Today Art Museum and UCCA under a shared title. During three decades of living in Vienna, Hamburg and Berlin, Ling Jian became well-known for his ambiguously seductive portraits of beautiful women and androgynous men. Since returning to China in 2003, he has increasingly turned his attention to conceptualizing the contemporary Chinese identity.
